 * Delete sad but minor event. Fails WP:Aircrash. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Firstly, these were NOT military aircraft, both had civil registrations. This event received major international coverage at the time, and changes were made as a direct result of the accident per the AAIBs recommendations. AIRCRASH and GNG are both met.

 * Is there persistent coverage beyond the initial burst of news? This might be worth noting in, say, the Air Experience Flight article, but I'm not sure it justifies its own. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:37, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm fairly sure there was a bit of coverage when the AAIB report was released. 16:08, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete although sad as it involved young cadets it is not really notable as a military training accident, the bit about improved collision avoidance can be mentioned as a one-liner in the Grob article. MilborneOne (talk) 20:49, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
